Scientists at Washington University develop a pill, SLU-PP-332, that mimics exercise benefits by activating ERRs for improved metabolism and muscle growth.

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine have developed a pill, SLU-PP-332, which mimics exercise benefits by activating estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) for improved metabolism and muscle growth. It could help patients with muscle atrophy, heart failure, and neurodegenerative diseases, and complement traditional exercise routines. The researchers plan to test it on other animals before human trials.
